A wide receiver starts from his 15-yard line on the right hash mark and runs a route that takes him 12 yards to the left and down field for a gain of 17 yards. Write a translation vector to describe the receiver's route.

Respuesta :

A translation vector describing the receiver's path < -12, 17 >.

What is termed as translation vector?

The distance vectors that almost all atoms in the grouping are translated through just to form another cluster inside the solid are defined by translation vectors.

  • Tv can be in either Cartesian or internal coordinates. If a Tv is described in Cartesian coordinates, it is directly used.
  • If it is defined in internal coordinates, it is converted to Cartesian coordinates as well as the Cartesian coordinates of atom 1 (real or dummy) are subtracted from it at run time.
  • If atom 1 is at the origin, i.e. (0.0, 0.0, 0.0), then the coordinates defined by Tv are indeed the translation vectors; this simplifies visualizing this same translation vectors using a GUI because a line drawn from atom 1 to Tv would represent this same translation vector.

Now, as per the stated question;

The horizontal (lateral, x) change is represented by the number 12. This same player runs 12 yards to the left.

The vertical (up/down, y) transition is represented by the number 17. In addition, the player runs 17 yards up the field.

When you put it all together, you get < -12, 17 >.

Therefore, the receiver's route is defined by translation vector < -12, 17 >.
